iPhone 3G Now at Walmart Stores; But Best Buy Offering the Best Deal with a $10 Discount
As we had reported, Apple’s iPhone 3G is now available at Walmart stores for $2 less than the regular price with a two-year contract: $197 for the 8 GB iPhone 3G model, or $297 for the 16 GB iPhone model.
Interestingly Walmart is not giving the best deal on the iPhone, Best Buy is currently selling the iPhone 3G for a $10 discount with a price tag of $189.99 for the 8 GB iPhone 3G model and $289.99 for the 16 GB iPhone model.
Apple’s iPhone 3G is now available at Walmart stores and is being prominently advertised on Walmart’s website.
HP’s iPhone App – iPrint Photo Allows you to Print Photos Wirelessly from your iPhone
In case you missed it among the 10,000+ iPhone apps on the App Store, HP has released an iPhone App called iPrint Photo that lets you print borderless 4″x6″ (American standard) and 10 x 15cm (European standard) photos from your iPhone to an HP printer on the same Wi-Fi network.
All you need to do is launch the iPhone application, select the photo from your iPhone’s camera roll and tap “Print” to print the photo on your HP inkjet printer (for the first time you need to select the desired printer from the list of available printers).
First Look: Will It Blend? for iPhone and iPod touch
Apparently I’m not the only person who loves to watch the Blendtec “Will It Blend?” videos on YouTube. The company reports that the video series has had over 100 million views so far, making it one of the more successful viral marketing campaigns.
Now you can see the top 20 “Will It Blend?” episodes in all their high quality color glory, thanks to a new app of that name. Treat yourself and friends to the thrill of Tom Dickson (right) feeding an iPhone 3G into a Blendtec blender in higher quality than you’ve ever seen it before.
Other favorites — iPod, glow sticks, and Chuck Norris, to name a few — are included as well. What’s great is that you don’t need a 3G or Wi-Fi connection to download these wonderful videos, as they’re built into the app.

If you’re a road warrior and an iPhone owner, chances are you are not using your beloved technology to its fullest potential.

But did you know you can do things like check in for your flight, listen to the radio in your home town from a thousand miles away, and at some airports even get through security all using just your iPhone?
Read on, weary travelers, if you too want to learn the many ways in which the iPhone can make your entire traveling experience pleasant, even if you’re traveling for business.Traveling? iPhone can help! originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Sat, 27 Dec 2008 17:30:00 EST.

TUAW Holiday Giveaway-tacular Part Four: iPhone party
Plenty of folks are probably getting iPhone gift cards this season, and for anyone who wants to make their iPhone the hit of the party (later, once you’ve actually purchased and activated the thing) here’s a lineup for you: some speakers (which fit just about every iPod ever made plus the iPhone), a stylus to keep grubby fingers of your precious, and a case.
I tested the JBL speakers and the stylus. The JBL speakers provide an astonishing amount of sound in such a small package. We turned it up as far as felt safe, and the kids had their fingers in their ears. Plus, at either loud or soft volume the audio was always very clear, not muddled with bass or too tinny on the high end (this was from the iPhone with no EQ).
